Speaking Of the liquor amendment,
the Nashville, Barry county, News,
says: "The Republican party has
done its whole duty in the case--it
promised the people to prepare an
amendment and submit to them, and
has done so with but slight assistance
from the fusionists in the House and
none in the Senate. 1t is no partisan
question, and if the question is left
to party lines to decide it will GER
tainly be defeated. To carry the
question il will be necessary for the
temperance voters of all parties to
affiliate and work together, earnestly
and faithfully. Any other course
means dismal failure

The fish market remains In about the same
condition as previously noticed. and the
changes that have taken place have been few
and unimportant. The supply Of maekerel
continues Of moderate proportions, and. as
the demand Is good, prices are held very firm.
Buyers are not favorably disposed toward
the prices, but still dealers will not sell ex-
cept at the outside, and in this way trade Is
not as satisfactory as ii might otherwise be.
The American Fish Bureau reports that the
heavy fog along the shore has interfered
with all kinds Of fishing and entirely stopped
that Of maekerel Both the Provincial as
well as American fishermen are not having
any catch, either hookers or seiners. The
fish appear quite numerous, both to the east
ward and in the bay, but keep near the rocks
and will not school or take the hook. The
total amount landed by the entire feet for
the week ending Aug. was 1880 barrels
against 500 barrels for the corresponding
week Of 1886 The total amount landed up
to date is 23,9i5 barrels against q. .O92 barrels

1t is safe to say that Hatfield viii not pitch
against Lowell again.-Lowell Sun. 1t Isn't
safe to say any such thing. Hatfield doesn't
very often allow club to bat him the way
the Lowells did last Monday and he isn't
going to give up on that account. Don't rest
too easy on that score.
Umpire T. Il. Rafferty, Of the New Eng
land League staft has resigned, and substi-
tute Umpire j. G. Ryan Of Manchester has
been appointed to the vacancy temporarily.
The Lowell Times has great deal to say
about scoring, and the scores it prints make
out the Lowels to be almost perfect players.
The Salem News says the last time the Low
ellis were in that city Cudworth fumbled
ground hit and let a base runner home
Then he threw the ball wild TO third base
and let another runner home, while the bats
man took third The Lowell Times had a
scorer ON the field, but the score in the next
days paper did not give Cudworth a single
error. The News wants to know IL this Is

The Lowell Sun and also the Yox Populi
OF that city say Sehoeneck has trick Of in
terfering with base runner and tripping
him. Both papers offer dollar for every
time he Is spiked in playing the dodge. Now
If Schoeneck does any such disreputable
work as these papers say, the umpire has
just as good a chance to see it as their re-
porters He has means by which he can ad-
minister proper punishment and will do so IL
1t is necessary. But II player gets caught
on first it is natural for him to lay 1t to
Schoeneck whether the latter is to blame OF
not. Spiking Is dangerous, Wilson. the
Blues first haseman coming near losing his
leg and life and being disabled for the sea-
son by being spiked accidentally. But not
wlthstanding this, papers with the standing
